Description

During a recent visit to the playground at South Middle School with my children, I noticed inappropriate words and images drawn all over it. It is disheartening to see that children in our community cannot even play in a safe and clean environment. Additionally, the playground was filled with trash and overgrown weeds. As a concerned resident, I am willing to help clean it up, but I believe the school or DPW should address the graffiti.

I was disturbed to learn from a school maintenance worker that older individuals use this location for inappropriate activities. Therefore, I suggest that the school improve this playground or relocate it to a more visible location for the neighborhood and school children's safety.
